2.11 The firewall’s console (Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appli-
ance)
On the console of the computer where
Kerio WinRoute Firewall Software Appliance / VMware
Virtual Appliance
is running, information about the firewall remote administration options
is displayed. Upon authenticating by the administration password (see above), this console
allows to change some basic settings, restore default settings after installation and shut down
or restart the computer.
By default, the console shows only information about URL or IP address which can be used
for firewall administration via the firewall’s web administration interface or the
Kerio Admin-
istration Console
. To access configuration options, authentication with the
Admin
password is
required (Admin is the main firewall administrator’s account). If idle for some time, the user
gets logged out automatically and the welcome page of the console showing details on the
firewall’s remote administration is displayed again.
The firewall’s console provides the following configuration options:
Network Interface Configurations
This option allows to show or/and edit parameters of individual network interfaces of the
firewall. Each interface allows definition of automatic configuration via
DHCP
or manual
configuration of IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
Note:
No default gateway should be set on interfaces connected to the local network,
otherwise this firewall cannot be used as a gateway for the Internet access.
Remote administration policy settings
When you change the firewall’s traffic policy (see chapter
) via the web administration
interface or the
Kerio Administration Console
, you may happen to block access to the
remote administration accidentally.
If you are sure that the firewall’s network interfaces are configured correctly and despite
of that it is not possible to access the remote administration, you can use the
Remote
Administration
option to change the traffic policy so that the rules do not block remote
administration on any interface.
Upon saving changes in traffic rules, the
Kerio WinRoute Firewall Engine
service will be
restarted automatically.
I the field, unblocking of the remote administration means that a rule will be added to
the top of the traffic policy table that would allow access
KWF Admin
(connection with
the
Kerio Administration Console
),
KWF WebAdmin
(unsecured web interface) and
KWF
WebAdmin-SSL
(secured web interface) services from any computer .
